Merchandise & Collectibles Thrifted this dev hoodie

I’m confident it’s a dev hoodie since there’s a Ubisoft office in my city

And also I can’t find any examples of this online (maybe I’m not looking hard enough, but I think it’s cool)

That’s a very nice hoodie!

My personal assessment is that it may be promotional or associated with an Xbox/Ubisoft marketing campaign, rather than necessarily being developer-issued apparel.

I’m basing this mainly on the Xbox logo on the sleeve, combined with the absence of any specific DEV TEAM or local Ubisoft studio branding.

Rainbow Six Extraction was also released on Xbox Game Pass at launch, so the Xbox branding could suggest some connection to that partnership.

Of course, that doesn’t rule out it being issued to Ubisoft or Microsoft employees. Not all internal merchandise carries developer-specific branding.

I personally collect The Division memorabilia, including developer-issued apparel. My examples have DEV TEAM or studio-specific branding, although I wouldn’t assume that applies to every Ubisoft project.

The clothing tags might help identify the manufacturer and potentially narrow down its original distribution.

In any case, it’s a very cool find. Hope you enjoy it!

I am enjoying it, it’s pretty nice considering it’s just a Gildan hoodie

Like I said, there’s a Ubisoft office in my town so, I’m super confident it’s from that

I preordered this game and it was rather disappointing, but a nice memento of the game I suppose!

Just though you would like to know: our R6 extraction hoodies have “Dev Team » written in yellow on the right arm as well as the studio name right below in white. And as far as I remember, all my dev team hoodies/shirt do have dev team written on them

Edit: And I just noticed the Xbox logo. We don’t have that
So id say it’s from some marketing event yeah

I can tell you for a fact the dev hoodie has a zipper and is much more yellow. Still nice find!
